The San Antonio Humane Society is having a birthday party - and everybody's invited to join in the fun. Festivities noon to 1 p.m. Saturday commemorate 60 years of caring and sheltering plus a decade of service to the community from the 4804 Fredericksburg Road address.

During the birthday bash, prizes will be awarded to young artists who've creatively interpreted the shelter's architecture. There will be tasty treats for pets to enjoy and a birthday cake for people to sample. A special adoption fee of $16 per pet will be in effect for cats and dogs 6 months or older. Kittens and puppies also will be available.

Typical cuties:

Macy: This 2-month-old kitten is a pretty Siamese - a curious cat who likes to check out her surroundings. Therefore, a nice indoor home with many interesting corners to explore would be ideal. She'll also purr loudly if you take the time to wave a feather wand or toss some catnip mice. Next to exploring, playing is Macy's favorite thing.

Poppy and Pavarti: These two little sisters are just 3 months old and, though they may act shy at first, they soon will be snuggling in your lap. The terrier mixes can be adopted singly or as an adorable pair. Pavarti is described as sweet and spunky; Poppy likes being petted under the chin and having her head gently scratched.

Where to find them: Macy, Poppy and Pavarti will be celebrating at the Humane Society's birthday party on Saturday - that is, if they haven't already been adopted. But not to worry. There are many equally appealing cats and dogs at the shelter.
